Descrizione

Paolina di Cà del Baio is a Barbera d'Alba DOC that embodies the essence of the Piedmontese terroir with elegance and intensity. Produced in the vineyards surrounding Alba, the beating heart of the denomination, this wine is born from the Barbera grape variety, capable of expressing vibrant acidity and a persistent fruity character. The Barbera d'Alba here presents itself with a captivating balance between freshness and structure, the result of careful vinification and aging that enhances its complexity without weighing it down.

In the glass, it reveals an intense ruby color, while on the nose it opens with aromas of ripe red fruits, cherry and plum, enriched by delicate spicy notes and a light hint of vanilla, a sign of partial wood aging. The sip is dynamic, with soft tannins and a savory finish that invites another taste. Paolina is perfect paired with traditional Piedmontese dishes such as grilled meats, braised dishes, and aged cheeses, ideal for those seeking an authentic and refined Barbera without sacrificing drinkability and freshness.

Winery history

The Grasso family has been connected to these hills for generations: Giuseppe Grasso's arrival in Treiso is documented in 1870, and in the following decades the family progressively selected and vinified individual parcels. In the 1980s and 2000s the winery refined the separation of grapes by cru, and in 2008 introduced experiments with Riesling. The revival and modern visibility of the winery are linked to the work of Giulio Grasso, and today management also involves the family's daughters.

Production philosophy

It favors a sustainable approach to viticulture, eliminating chemical weed control, using cover crops, and prioritizing biodiversity and soil conservation. In the cellar, fermentations with indigenous yeasts are encouraged and the use of sulfites is limited to preserve the character of the vintages and their ageing potential.

Terroir and vineyards

The estate and most of its vineyards are located in Treiso, near Barbaresco and not far from Neive. The estate's vineyards fall within historic crus such as Vallegrande, Asili, Pora, Marcarini, Ferrere and Trestelle; the soils are typically calcareous marls that characterize the Barbaresco area.

Awards and recognitions

Giulio Grasso was named "Winemaker of the Year" by the Gambero Rosso guide.
